    Liverpool 2-0 Burnley

    Oh what a block from Virgil van Dijk, sliding in with a perfect challenge to deny Jay Rodriguez's shot from the angle.

    Ben Mee then nods a free header wide from 10 yards out, he was dead centre of goal. Should have buried it.

    Liverpool 2-0 Burnley

    Looks like Liverpool won't be adding to the scoresheet today, Roberto Firmino's weak, left-footed shot is easy for Nick Pope.

  5. GREAT SAVE!published at 88 mins

    Liverpool 2-0 Burnley

    No need to call for Andrew Robertson as Kostas Tsimikas is back on.

    Alisson makes a flying save to deny Jay Rodriguez's thumping shot from the edge of the area to preserve back-to-back clean sheets.

    Liverpool 2-0 Burnley

    Mohamed Salah won't be equalling Thierry Henry's haul of 100 goals from 160 Premier League games today.

    The Egyptian blazes wide from outside the area.

    Meanwhile, there is trouble for Kostas Tsimkas with the Greek full-back hitting the deck with a shoulder problem.

  7. CLOSE!published at 86 mins

    Liverpool 2-0 Burnley

    No catching Mohamed Salah, leaving Ben Mee trudging in treacle but Sadio Mane cannot convert from close range with his flicked effort.

    Liverpool 2-0 Burnley

    Burnley haven't really threatened Alisson since conceding the opener and don't on this occasion either as Dwight McNeil's curler is way off target.

  9. CLOSE!published at 84 mins

    Trent Alexander-Arnold wants in on the goal action but a well-directed, side-footed shot is caught by Nick Pope.

    Sam: On this evidence, you have to wonder how on earth Henderson didn’t start the big games at the euros. Effortlessly pulling the strings. Class act.

    Liverpool 2-0 Burnley

    I'm looking at the live win probability for the game.

    Liverpool are at 99.2%.

    The draw is at 0.8%.

    So Burnley have a 0% chance of winning.

    Quick maths.

    Liverpool look a different prospect with Virgil van Dijk in the team.

    So much more assuredness and calmness exuding through the team with his presence at the back.

    The Dutchman hasn't put a foot wrong today, in fact he has been rather impressive considering how long he was out injured for.

    Liverpool looking for the cherry on the icing.

    Mohamed Salah curls just wide. It wasn't far off.

    A change for Burnley up top.

    Jay Rodriguez replaces Chris Wood.

  18. CLOSE!published at 73 mins

    Liverpool 2-0 Burnley

    Nick Pope makes a mess of it for the first time, coming for a cross and not getting there.

    Virgil van Dijk wins it and it drops for central defensive partner Joel Matip, but the header lacks power and Burnley can clear.

  19. Five changes for City - but no De Bruynepublished at 14:02 British Summer Time 21 August 2021

    Man City v Norwich (15:00 BST)

    Pep Guardiola makes five changes as he bids to stem a run of five defeats in seven games for Manchester City dating back to the tail-end of last season.

    Aymeric Laporte, Kyle Walker, Rodri, Gabriel Jesus and Bernardo Silva are all recalled - with Raheem Sterling among those to drop to the bench - but there's no Kevin de Bruyne as an ankle knock keeps the Belgian out.

    Subs: Steffen, Ake, Zinchenko, Mendy, Fernandinho, Sterling, Mahrez, Doyle, Palmer.
